Man Utd vs Leeds TV channel, kick-off time, television and live stream details
Manchester United host Leeds United in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils have the chance to go level on points with rivals Manchester City in second place in the table after Pep Guardiola’s side suffered a 1-0 defeat against Tottenham on the weekend. Leeds are playing for the first time since sacking Jesse Marsch on Monday after a 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest extended their winless league run to seven games.
Leeds are yet to appoint a replacement for Marsch and will therefore be led by Michael Skubala, who will be supported by Chris Armas, Ralf Rangnick's assistant at Old Trafford last season. Leeds are 17th in the Premier League and are only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
The home team will be without star midfielder Casemiro, who is serving a three-match ban after being sent off for grabbing Will Hughes by the neck in United’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday. There are further selection headaches for Erik ten Hag, who has several injuries to deal with.
The Dutchman revealed on Tuesday that Antony and Anthony Martial will miss Wednesday’s game against Leeds, while midfielders Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek are also injured. Marcel Sabitzer, who joined the club on loan from Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day, could make his first start for the club in midfield.

It is the first of two quick-fire meetings between the two sides, with the clubs meeting again at Elland Road on Sunday in a quirk of the fixture list.
Is Manchester United vs Leeds on TV?
The game will not be broadcast live in the United Kingdom. The fixture was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 18, but had to be moved in the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II's death.
The original fixture was not chosen for broadcast by Sky Sports or BT Sport and the rearranged game has therefore had to stick to the original scheduling.
Subscribers to MUTV can watch the build-up to the game from 18:55 GMT. MUTV and talkSPORT will provide live radio commentary of the match. Highlights will be available on Sky Sports and both club’s YouTube channels from Thursday.
